The Conservative Party's new campaign poster had one rather unfortunate problem

LONDON — The Conservative Party's official election campaign
launch was somewhat spoiled this week after journalists
noticed a rather unfortunate problem with
the party's new poster.

The poster, which was launched at an event in London on
Wednesday, was aimed at convincing voters that Labour would hit
them with a "tax bombshell" if they win the upcoming general
election.

However, when Brexit Secretary David Davis stood in front of the
poster, it was possible to frame pictures of it in a
rather unflattering way.

Here's the original poster:

And here's another picture from a different angle:

The incident was eerily reminiscent of a scene from the BBC
political satire "The Thick of It" in which fictional minister
Nicola Murray stands in front of a poster which, when cropped,
reads "I am bent."

The press conference was also somehow infiltrated by one Labour
activist who handed out a briefing to journalists attempting to
rebut the central claim of the poster.
